St. John's History

When discussing all-time college basketball programs, St. John's is certainly in the discussion for one of the most storied teams. St. John's has been a member of the Big East Conference since it originally formed in 1979 and has remained in the conference throughout all the realignments since the mid 2000's. While St. John's hasn't had consistent success since the early 90's, they still rank eighth all-time in wins in NCAA Division I men's college basketball. The majority of St. John's success came under Lou Carnesecca, who was 526-200 as a coach for the Red Storm in two separate coaching terms (Carnesecca spent a few years coaching the New Jersey Nets before returning to St. John's). Lou brought the Red Storm to a postseason tournament every season in his 24-year career with St. John's, including an appearance in the 1985 Final Four (considered one of the best Final Four's of all-time). Carnesecca, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992, was named the National Coach of the Year in 1983 and 1985.

St. John's has produced a couple of outstanding college basketball players including Walter Berry and the all-time great Chris Mullin, both of which won the National Player of the Year Award. Current head coach Steve Lavin has brought St. John's back to their winning ways, leading them to a winning record in three of his first four seasons as at the helm, with a fourth on the way. St. John's plays some of their home games at the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden, where St. John’s basketball tickets continually remain in high demand.
